WHEREAS, in connection with the retirement of William R. Williams, the Board of

recognition of his longstanding service to the Association.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and terms contained
herein the Association, Grand Central Financial Corp. (the "Company") and Mr.
Williams agree as follows:

1.   Payment. The Association agrees to pay Mr. Williams a sum of $796,214.31
     less applicable withholding. The Association agrees to make this payment to
     Mr. Williams in a single lump sum no later than April 30, 2003.

2.   Release of Employment Agreement Claims. Upon the acceptance of payment made
     hereunder by the Association, Mr. Williams acknowledges and agrees that

     under the employment agreements entered into by and between Mr. Williams,
     the Company and the Association effective December 30, 1998 (the
     "Employment Agreements"). Mr. Williams hereby agrees that he, or any person
     acting by, through or on behalf of him, releases the Association and the
     Company and their successors, from any and all rights and claims Mr.
     Williams has under the Employment Agreements, against the Association and
     the Company, and Mr. Williams agrees that he will not institute any action
     or actions, cause or causes of action (in law or in equity), suits, debts,
     liens, claims, demands (known or unknown) in state or federal court, or
     with any state, federal or local governmental agency arising from or
     attributable to settlement of claims under the Employment Agreements.

3.   Understanding of Service on the Boards of Directors. Each of the parties
     hereto understand and agree that this Acknowledgment will not, by itself,
     affect Mr. Williams' position on the Boards of Directors of the Association
     or the Company. And as long as Mr. Williams continues to serve on the Board
     of Directors of the Association and/or the Company, he will continue to
     vest in, and maintain the rights to all stock options and stock awards
     granted to Mr. Williams under the Company's stock-based benefit plan.

4.   Arbitration of Claims. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
     connection with this Acknowledgment shall be settled exclusively by
     arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators sitting in a
     location in Ohio selected by Mr. Williams, in accordance with the rules of
     the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be
     entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.

5.   Complete Agreement. This Acknowledgment and Receipt shall represent the
     complete agreement between the Association, the Company and Mr. Williams
     concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or
     understandings, written or oral. No attempted modification or waiver of any
     of the provisions hereof shall be binding on either party unless made in
     writing and signed by Mr. Williams, the Association, the Company and/or
     their successors.
